Configuring OSPF network types
OSPF classifies networks into four types, including broadcast, NBMA, P2MP, and P2P. The default
network type of an interface on the device is broadcast.
When you change the network type of an interface, follow these guidelines:
•
When an NBMA network becomes fully meshed, change the network type to broadcast to avoid
manual configuration of neighbors.
•
If any routers in a broadcast network do not support multicasting, change the network type to
NBMA.
•
An NBMA network must be fully meshed. OSPF requires that an NBMA network be fully
meshed. If a network is partially meshed, change the network type to P2MP.
•
If a router on an NBMA network has only one neighbor, you can change the network type to P2P
to save costs.
Two broadcast-, NBMA-, and P2MP-interfaces can establish a neighbor relationship only when they
are on the same network segment.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure OSPF network types, perform the following tasks:
•
Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring nodes.
•
Enable OSPF.

By default, the network type of an
interface is broadcast.
Configuring the NBMA network type for an interface
After you configure the network type as NBMA, you must specify neighbors and their router priorities
because NBMA interfaces cannot find neighbors by broadcasting hello packets.
